Abstract
Although well-maintained roads are an important source of transportation, their
economic impact is rarely felt in a nation. Here, drivers who aren't convinced of their safety are
seriously at risk from potholes and speed breakers. Potholes, poor night vision, inaccurate speed
breaker signage, and the driver's carelessness all contributed to this disaster. All of these elements
harm the vehicle's suspension system in addition to having an impact on drivers who are on the
road. These days, cars with reduced ground clearance have trouble on uneven roads. In this
paper, we proposed to use a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) in a machine learning method to
create a device that can identify bumps and potholes. The device uses an ESP32 GPS Speedometer
to locate these bumps and potholes and transmits the position, along with speed, latitude, and
longitude values, to a database via Wi-Fi. The device also chooses to save the data it collects in
the cloud. With the aid of machine learning, it can be classified into various categories based on
requirements. It also has a speech module that allows audio notifications to be played over the
speaker. This research suggests using a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), a machine learning
method, to train parameters autonomously in order to enhance vehicle suspension health and
prevent driver fatigue.
